Hello,
I live in the US, but am from Ireland originally. Where should I buy a diamond engagement ring? As I see it, buying in Ireland gives me an instant discount of 20%. This is the VAT rate. My brother was living in Australia, and bought a ring in Ireland at a 30% discount. VAT plus 10%..........as we know the owner. It is a well established physical shop there. Another advantage to buying in Ireland is the strong dollar.
Or should I buy in the US? Are the prices more competitive? I feel the selection would be way better here. Maybe, also better cut at Whiteflash? I feel apprehensive about buying online. We could always go to their showroom in Texas............. close to Las Vegas
